About: Hi there! My name's Tyler, and it's a pleasure to (virtually) meet you. I'm 40, moved to Richmond from Miami to be closer to family in 2023, and work from home as a consultant. I grew up with dogs. My whole family also has dogs, so I like to think we can't help but love them. I'm naturally a nurturer and a caregiver. My mom was a teacher, and we often had the class guinea pig/gerbil/goldfish/snake/cat at the house as well. I'm comfortable with all animals. I volunteered at shelters while I was in school in North Carolina, and currently pet-sit for my busy and oft-traveling friends: the most recent rotation includes terriers, golden retrievers, labs, rottweilers, and pitbulls, but I've never met a dog I don't like or that doesn't warm up to me, no matter how shy. I have a 8 year old golden retriever border collie mix named Bowie who is in the process of becoming a certified Pet Partner/Delta Dog (he likes to volunteer, too!). He is super social and loves all creatures, furry and non-furry. He can be here if you board with me or stay with my boyfriend - whichever you prefer. I grew up a Navy brat and manage both people and businesses for a living- I am a firm believer in treating people, animals, and their homes with respect and dignity. Your house, your rules. I'm also totally open to plant-sitting, bringing in mail, puppy play-dates, the odd chore, etc. I also offer the option of ‘boarding in your home’ without staying there: lots of my regular clients like their pets to stay in their comfort zone at home, and I visit 4x a day for 30 minutes or more; this is usually morning, midday, afternoon/evening, and night, with walks/food/meds/cuddles/etc. Let me know if you’d prefer this service to boarding in my home or yours - I’m amenable to whatever you think is best for your pet. Thanks for taking the time to read about me- I hope to meet you and yours in the near future! - Tyler - grew up with dogs - rescued and fostered and helped place multiple dogs - volunteered at animal shelter in Chapel Hill, NC for years - had a 15 year old golden retriever named Tucker, who was a certified Delta Dog (can volunteer in hospitals, nursing homes, great with children, the elderly, and other pets) - Has a 6 year old rescue Border Collie mix named Bowie, who lives with me full time - Spends a lot of time with my ‘Nephew Dogs,’ Murphy & Carlyle, a 2yr old Sheepadoodle and a 7 year old Westie, respectively - loves loves loves animals In my home, they’re family: frequent walks; a dog park (legion park), if you’re so inclined; they’re welcome on furniture; I have multiple dog beds, toys, a crate, a balcony where they can watch birds, etc. In your home, however you specify. I respect and adhere to your rules for your pet family and for your home. It dictates my daily routine! I have a flexible schedule and pets come first - happy to work on your dog or cat’s normal schedule to keep things as aligned with normal as possible while you’re away. Pets in my home are welcome everywhere and have free access to water, toys, furniture, pet beds, blankets, etc. We go for lots of walks and I send lots of pictures!
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely love spending time with them—whether that’s going for walks, playing fetch, or just hanging out on the couch. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I’m all about making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I’ve also cared for cats, senior pets, and those with special needs. Whether your pup needs a long walk or your kitty just wants some company, I’ve got it covered. I work from home and have flexibility to ensure your pet is always cared for. Playtime, walks, etc they will be given proper attention and care. make sure each pet feels comfortable and safe from the moment they walk in. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible—feeding times, walks, play, naps—so it feels like a home away from home.
“Brodie had another wonderful stay with Raye! As always, Raye was communicative and shared lots of updates throughout the day. Thank you, Raye! We are so appreciative of the peace of mind you provide.”

About: Hello! My name is Kyla and since I was 5 years old my family and I have always welcomed needing pets to our home and family. I’ve also been frequently trusted with caring for neighbors’ and family pets during their times away. With this background I’ve been given the hands on experiences to understand and provide the needs of pets who are away from their home environment and would ensure that my home and care is a welcoming and comforting temporary replacement to what you provide to them. Looking forward to being your trusted sitter! I currently work from home full-time and am much of a homebody outside of that, giving me plenty of time to care for and play with your furry friends and provide frequent updates on their stays away from you. I live in an apartment but am very close to nearby parks and walking areas and would be sure to frequently give your pets their much needed doses of fresh-air and outdoor playtime. When in a client’s home, I am sure to treat it as my own and maintain the routine that they’re accustomed to.
“Preston (and Cynthia!) took great care of Auggie while I was at work. They sent me videos and photos throughout the day, and Auggie loved playing with their pup and running around their back yard. Great communication and very kind folks! Highly recommend.”
About: I love dogs and have had dogs all my life, from puppies to seniors, I have seen and cared for it all! My dog, Boogie, and I can’t wait to play with your lil guys and gals! Boogie will keep your dog playing and having fun. He does best with other medium to high energy dogs and puppies! But he knows how to chill with older and low energy dogs too. We have a fenced yard with plenty of space to run around and a quiet neighborhood to walk in. Plenty of space in the house to have some down time cuddling too! My partner and I take care of our dog, Boogie, daily. Playing in the yard, going on walks and hikes, and a few visits to the dog park a week is our usual! We have a lovely yard and one or both of us are home all day during the week. I prefer crate trained dogs, but wouldn’t pass on dogs who aren’t, we can make it work!
“Kourtney is so loving and kind — she made me feel completely at ease with leaving Henry with her! She kept me updated with photos and texts of how he was doing. I never worried because I knew he was taken care of and loved the whole time! I’m definitely using her again and would highly recommend her!”
“Deanna was friendly and caring, sent pics and video of our little guy. He seemed to have a good day hanging with her and her dogs. Her dogs are sweet and playful. Will definitely be back!”
“TC and Sage are great. Drop off and pickup were a breeze. They asked a lot of questions so they would be able to give him the best care. Provided updates. Highly recommend.”
